Abstract
‘The twentieth century has two periods of intensive study of historical generations: the years between 1920 and 1933 and the period after the Second World War,’ explains Jaeger (1985). ‘During the first period, German contributions dominate in terms of numbers and importance. The second period shows a broad spectrum of international research, during which American studies, mostly social scientifically oriented, gain prominence’. (p. 277)
